Egyptian Museum, Cairo. 19th Dynasty 1300 B.C. The name Isis means seat or throne. She was regarded as the symbolical mother of the King. In myth, she sought her dead husband and brother, Osiris, conceived her son Horus by him, buried and mourned him together with her sister Nephtys. Isis is here depicted as a mother suckling her young son Horus and it is in this aspect that the Goddess was regarded as the vital link between Deities and Royalty, since the King was regarded as the living Horus on the throne of Egypt. In the pyramid texts it's stated that the ruler drinks divine milk from the breast of his mother Isis. Made from compound stone, soapstone finish, hieroglyphs around base, 7"H.
